FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development
SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris
for the addition of a Historic Overlay District (HD -18) in a Two -Family Dwelling
District (217) in the City of Paris, Block 146, Lot 3, located at 705 SE 3rd Street-
LCAD 16382.
MTG. DATE: June 27, 2022
BACKGROUND
The City of Paris proposes the addition of a local Historic Overlay District (HD -18) for the creation
of a single freestanding historic district. This is for the identified oldest standing residence in the
City located a 705 SE 3`d St. The City has mowed the property for years and the property is
delinquent with several years of unpaid property taxes making it eligible for tax foreclosure due to
the vacant status of the residence. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and Planning &
Zoning Commission have recommended to the City Council the creation of this new single
structure district to preserve the architectural significance of the propertylIcP11. This will protect the
oldest house in the City of Paris from any potential demolition orders according to ordinance
provisions. There has also been substantial interest in purchasing the property should it become
eligible for sale under the tax foreclosure proceedings. The exterior of the structure appears
salvageable, thus warranting the creation of this district.
ANALYSIS
The house was constructed in 1880 with an Italianate Architecture Style. There are no plans at this
time for remodeling. Although, it is highly likely that such remodeling work would begin once it
can be relinquished from a trustee status through a court proceeding. The establishment of this
historic district designation is an additional step in securing a future for the residence and creating
financial grant incentives for remodeling. The condition of the interior is undetermined at this
point in time.
